Those are the heat sinks. This is a class A amplifier, so it does generate some heat.

Completed build

My latest DIY build is the kit from the Nelson Pass Amp Camp. In reality, this is a 1.6 amp and not the ACA Mini circuit. I liked that is isn't another black box.

I did add a WiiM streamer to the sunroom system. Great bang for your buck.

The AR speakers I gave away, as a door prize, at a recent meet here.

I wasn't expecting much but I'm really into this series

Won't make it this year. I'm working.

My wife and I are both enjoying it.

The Gilmore Raptors move into the dining room.

I moved the Arte Forma 2A3 into the sunroom. Something special about SET and the horns.

I have used many different finishes over the years; Deft lacquer, Liberon finishing oil, Sam Maloof poly oil, Varathane finishing wax, Varathane polyurethane, Minwax polyurethane, to name a few.
